UNIQUE FEATURES OF AFFORDABLE ART FAIR
Art for everyone
Our concept is simple yet unique: an inspiring and friendly atmosphere in
which you can find thousands of original paintings, prints, sculpture and
photography all under one roof, and all between HK$1,000 and HK$100,000.
The works of young, emerging artists hang alongside some of the biggest
household names, and our Young Talent Hong Kong exhibition provides a
chance to snap up a future masterpiece.
There are 1,000s of artists to choose from with over 130 galleries from Hong Kong (22%), Asia (60%) and around the world so there is something for all tastes and budgets. Returning from last year, a specially curated exhibition of pieces under $10,000 will showcase a diverse range of accessible artworks from around half of the exhibiting galleries.
The Fair attracts both seasoned collectors and new art buyers, with approximately 30% of visitors having never bought an artwork before. Our aim is to put art into all Hong Kong homes as around the world Affordable Art Fair create a new generation of collectors, as well as inspiring established collectors to discover emerging artists.
